The pictures look great! Wished I could have come Gracie, but simply couldn't. I only wished there were captions on the pictures. Wanted to know who was who, although I DID recognize Sue Schuler and your daughter.

I loved our get together. I can't imagine anyone could have picked a nicer bunch. Thank you all for your kind words.

We need to do it again very soon.

Hope to see you all again at Crispers this afternoon.

A very special afternoon. Such fun seeing so many new faces!

Suggestion to all: next time you ask your friends and neighbors in, call Gracie and ask for her estimate as to how much food you should have. Then go buy a third of it and your guests will eat for a week!

Thanks Gracie and company, and thnk Pooh for the pictures. She caught my good side!

Thanks again, Gracie, for putting this together and opening your house to everyone. Sandy (Brillo) and I really enjoyed it - got to put some names with faces and have some excellent conversations!!!

Sadly, we're on our way back to OH. Such is life. We'll be back there in 9 weeks - Sandy's counting the days already!

Thanks Pooh for taking the time to do the pictures. I gives me a warm fuzzy all over again! Double bonus...got to spend the next day (yesterday) at Crispers with some of the same folks and more of the gang! I am having such a good time these past 2 weeks!

I posted in the other forum but repeat. Gracie is a superb hostess--think of Perle Mesta and Lady Astor. Grace, it was wonderful to see you, Helene, and Henry. You are missed when you are up in our home state. Enjoyed welcoming new Villagers as well as seeing "old" friends. Thanks for opening up your beautiful home and for the fabulous food.

Oh how I wish I my house was built. Gracie your home is beautiful and am looking forward to meeting you and others . Pooh thanks for the photos

Do you think TV would let us pitch a tent then we could fly down every weekend and not miss out on meeting new friends. I guess we will have to wait till the Lilly is built.

Gracie love your decorating.

Gracie - I'd sent you a PM as well.
